But I still say big deal, Trump tried to overthrow their government and CP's boxers are all in a bunch over a dumb statement
that a black democrat Congresswoman made as if saying something stupid makes her a dumb person and therefore she's too dumb to be in Congress.
That's what's dumb, to make a big deal out of a nothingburger.
Probably because you're not "up to snuff" on "the science of the moon".
The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

However, for idiocy the last Republican president takes the Gold and one or two former Republican presidents were not overly bright either."It ain't necessarily so

One of the high school kids snickered and said "Moses didn't have an Ark - you meant Noah".
Quick on my feet, I retorted "Well, yeah, Moses had an Ark - the Ark of the Covenant!"
(but admitted I messed up)
So, yeah, that's plausible.
This current gaffe, though? No it was just pure ignorance.
"You’ve heard the word ‘full moon', - "Sometimes, you need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon is that complete-rounded circle, which is made up mostly of gases. And that’s why the question is: Why or how could we as humans live on the moon? Are the gases such that we could do that?"
There are just so many things wrong with this even if you tried to allow for her intending to say "sun" instead of "moon".

Know-nothing candidates for various offices reassure their voters that s/he is just like me .

She pounded that foot deep into her mouth [the moon is made up mostly of gasses]
And then proceeded to shot herself in said foot while it was still deeply wedged in her mouth [eclipses happen when the moon gets close to the earth]
That is weapon's grade stupidity there.
As I said SJL is the left's MTG -- and she has worked long and hard for that title.
